Chapter 256
“If on the day of the Zixia Grand Ceremony, both Qin Qingwan and I were about to die, and you could only save one of us, who would you save?”
Wu Yanhan stared directly into Xu Ming’s eyes, waiting for his answer.
This question inevitably brought Xu Ming back to a fatal one he had been asked in his past life: If both your wife and your mother fell into the water, who would you save? With that scenario, he could deflect with something like, Can’t you swim?
But now, it wasn’t so easy.
“I would save both of you,” Xu Ming said after a moment of thought. “I wouldn’t let either of you come to any harm.”
He opted for a safe, catch-all answer.
“It’s been over six months since we last met, and now you’re talking big like this?” Wu Yanhan turned her head slightly, speaking softly. “You’re just a small-time cultivator, that’s all.”
Xu Ming chuckled. “Not just a cultivator—I’m also a martial artist.”
“Yes, yes, you’re also a martial artist. But when the time comes, if you truly have to give up one path, which would you choose?” Wu Yanhan’s gaze bore into him once more, pressing for an answer.
